Abstract

A nonparametric neural network model based on Rough-Fuzzy Membership function, multilayer perceptron, and back-propagation algorithm is described. The described model is capable to deal with rough uncertainty as well as fuzzy uncertainty associated with classification of remotely sensed multi-spectral images. The input vector consists of membership values to linguistic properties while the output vector is defined in terms of rough fuzzy class membership values. This allows efficient modeling of indiscernibility and fuzziness between patterns by appropriate weights being assigned to the back-propagated errors depending upon the Rough-Fuzzy Membership values at the corresponding outputs. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated on classification problem of IRS-P6 LISS IV images of Allahabad area. The results are compared with statistical (Minimum Distance), conventional MLP, and FMLP models.
